Paulo Coelho

So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.

It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.

Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.

Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.

It is said that the darkest hour of the night comes just before the dawn.

Tears are words that need to be written.

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

Life attracts life.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you.

People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.

A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.

Trust and start walking. We are not alone in the dark, our path will unfold as we move.

But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it’s better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you’re fighting for.

Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life.

Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.

If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule – never lie to yourself.

I cry very easily. It can be a movie, a phone conversation, a sunset - tears are words waiting to be written.

It took me 40 years to write my first book.
